Today was one of those “real life” days. I’ve been home most days this week and today began with a dentist appt and marathon coupon shopping. Fun day.

So what did I get done?

Nothing. I even have to go check to see if I made my bed.

. . .

I did!!! I’m so excited. That was not what I was expecting.

Made bed. Go me!!!

Now to get back to doing what I’m supposed to do every day.

    Way to go! My mom always said that a made bed made the rest of the room look cleaner. She is so right! If I am feeling my bedroom spiraling out of control I make my bed and that (sometimes) motivates me to clean up the rest of it 🙂

    I celebrate your victory with you!

    This is WONDERFUL. I’m crying on my lunchbreak from laughing so hard (and not AT you Sweetheart, WITH you…because I feel like I’m reading my daily internal monologue…)

    THANK YOU!

    I’m a podcast devotee who is finally looking at your journey from the beginning. It’s making me smile to read your initially anonymous posts, with your cute face right there along the side. It shows just how very far you’ve come and makes wonder just how far I can go.

    ohhh Dana, I will NEVER forget this one.
    The “I did!…..that was not what I was expecting!”
    makes me a devoted fan from here on out. I want to say that it made me crack up laughing, and it did, but mostly I was deeply embedded in the same glorious feeling that you had in that one second of enlightenment about your made bed. Major Squeal!

    Oh, this made me laugh! Celebrating with you that you made your bed! That is one thing I do – make my bed every day. And I load and run the dishwasher every night. And I have a decent laundry routine (except for the folding and put away part – my family has learned to get dressed out of laundry baskets). That’s it though. 🙁 Number one messy house right here! It’s not that I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I’ve read ALLLLLL the books. It’s just that it sounds so exhausting and no fun. I work 20 hours/week and when I’m home I want to do what I want to do – which is not clean house. Sigh.
